Regardless of the mining boom in Australia,we still may be heading for a dull time,economically-apparently some financial planners and advisers that I was having lunch with today,say things are pretty crook in many business circles in Australia.Some high profile ones are saying things like 'real depression',these people in the 'big end of town' usually aren't that far of the mark with their predictions.
I'd have to agree,would not advising maxing out the plastic,just because of a strong Aussie dollar-you might not have a job to pay it off soon.
